Prayer Request!

Upon returning home Saturday afternoon from the hospital, I noticed an intense amount of pain I was experiencing in the evening in my incision area due to having an episiotemy. Once I woke up Sunday morning, I couldn't take the pain and the prescription they gave me for ibuprofen was not even helping. The pain is so great that I can't sit, I can't stand for any length of time and the only way to get comfortable is laying in bed, but it's still painful to get in and out of bed. I contacted the doctor on call and he called in some pain medication for me to take over the weekened until I can see my doctor on Monday.

I saw my doctor on Monday and after my examination, he stated that I got an infection and that's what's causing all my pain and discomfort. He gave me a prescription for antibiotics and said it could take up to a week or longer to clear up. I have been taking the antibiotics for almost a full two days now and I don't notice a difference yet. The pain and discomfort is still the same at this point.

Please pray for me for a quick recovery. I need all the prayer I can get right now because I am very frustrated with not being able to do too much and it makes me feel down right now. My two older boys want and need my attention that I can't give them and I have a brand new baby that requires all my attention. Thankfully I can have baby Jeremiah stay in bed with me most of the time so I can take care of him while trying to recover.

Thanks girls........I appreciate all your prayers. I thought I would give you an update of my status. I am doing much, much better now. I still have inflammation, but the infection is almost gone. I have a couple more days left of antibiotics, so hopefully the infection will be completely gone once I'm done taking them. It's so nice to finally get back into my normal routine of things without restrictions :) Thanks again for all your prayers & encouragement, it means alot!
